I slacked off in high school, but still got okay grades. I did amazingly well on the ACT, so I was immediately accepted into the Honors program at my college.
However, the transition to college was hard for me at first. I went through problems with depression and drugs. I lost motivation and dropped out for awhile. I went back, but then took another break because I couldn’t stop procrastinating.
That was all a long time ago, but now that my life is back in order and I actually have confidence with myself, I want to get back into the Honors program, and I want to show that I am worth it.
Right now I have only two more semesters left, and my GPA is 0.23 points away from Honors qualifications. It’s hard making up for so many bad grades in the beginning, but I know I can do it. It’s even harder that I’m taking 20 hours of classes, working 32 hours, and trying to maintain somewhat of a social life.
I’m going to prove to everyone – and myself – that regardless of who I was in the past, I am still Honors material. It’s going to feel great.
